When it comes to outpatient surgical care, patients and physicians alike want one thing above all: trust. At Innovia Surgery Center, we understand the responsibility that comes with providing surgical services outside the traditional hospital setting. That’s why we are proud to be accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC) and hold Medicare Deemed Status—a designation that reflects our unwavering commitment to quality, safety, and patient-centered care.
AAAHC is one of the leading accrediting organizations for ambulatory health care in the United States. Their accreditation is a rigorous, peer-reviewed process that evaluates an organization against nationally recognized standards. These standards span a wide range of areas including infection prevention, quality improvement, patient rights, and surgical safety.
Medicare Deemed Status means that AAAHC has been approved by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to evaluate and accredit ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) on behalf of the federal government. This recognition means that an ASC like Innovia has been found to meet or exceed Medicare’s conditions for coverage. In short, it’s one of the highest marks of distinction for an ASC in the U.S.
Physicians want to refer their patients to a facility that reflects their own standards of care. AAAHC accreditation with Deemed Status assures referring providers that:
It’s also a sign of operational excellence. From sterile processing and credentialing to emergency preparedness and patient satisfaction—every detail is scrutinized during the survey process.
AAAHC accreditation is valid for three years, but the preparation never stops. For Innovia, each cycle is a fresh opportunity to validate what we do well and improve where we can. The process is demanding, but it’s also incredibly rewarding. It challenges our team to stay sharp, stay compliant, and stay committed to doing the right thing for every patient, every time.
While patients may not always be aware of what accreditation involves, they feel the results: safer experiences, clearer communication, fewer complications, and higher satisfaction. When patients choose Innovia, they’re choosing a facility that has proven its dedication to excellence at every level.
Whether you’re a physician looking for a trusted referral partner or a patient exploring your options for outpatient care, AAAHC accreditation with Medicare Deemed Status is a clear indicator of quality. At Innovia Surgery Center, it’s more than a certificate on the wall—it’s the standard we live by.
